We
like to think of ourselves as a large and diverse company. But,
actually, the we is I, the large is small and the diverse is
specialized. The I is me, Pete Jermann. I personally design, produce,
pack, and invoice everything that leaves TeMPeR Productions.
 I
have been involved in book binding for almost a quarter of a century
(since 1976). For 23 years I bound and repaired all manner of books for
St. Bonaventure University in rural, western New York. Over the years I
developed many of my own techniques, styles and logical justifications
for a variety of bindings, particularly double-fan adhesive binding. Of
the four basic presses I manufacture, two of these, the Fan-gluing
Press and the Casing Press, were
designed to meet my needs as a binder. My other two presses, The
Big Squeeze and the
TeMPeR Finishing
Press, were designed for fellow bookbinders and based on both my
experience and theirs.
 All
TeMPeR presses are handcrafted in my basement shop. Though my
designs are meant to be purely functional, the consumers of my presses
have generally regarded them as more than that. Should there be any
problems, I stand behind my products and will work with you to ensure
their proper performance.
